No. The only data that's transmitted over those lines are to tell the 360 to shut down when the battery is fully charged.

This has been asked on here before a few times, so I'm curious, can you explain why you'd want to turn a wireless controller into a wired one when there already are wired ones?

Correct me if I am wrong. A simple Play and Charge Kit wire that connects to the top of a wireless controller will make it a Wired controller on the PC.  You don't even need the battery pack in.

You can pink up a P&C wire (china knockoff) for like $4 shipped from china.

Maybe it does there, but here on W7 x64 it only shows up in the Unspecified devices as Wireless Via Play & Charge kit (drivers are installed) but it's not usable as a controller. I use the Wireless PC Receiver here and have never had an issue with it though.

This same thing also happens on Windows 8 x64. So its not Windows 7 related. It could be the changed NT core since windows XP but actually I have no proof for that.

There is also another solution to wire an RF module to USB and 3.3v and sync the controller. There are tutorials all over the net.
